Evaluation Activity 3 - Script

The name of my production company is DreamScream productions. We got the idea of the name of the company from the popular production company DreamWorks, and changed the name around a little by adding the word scream, which is associated with horror. This makes the production company specific to horror, like Twisted Pictures.

A production company is a group of people who are responsible for creating new media, like TV programmes and films. They can also be responsible for gathering money to fund the production. The production company can be both large, like Paramount Pictures, or small, like Brain Damage Films whic deals with more independant films.

Film distributors are companies that take a film thats been produced and release them for public viewing. A distributor would have to either have to own distribution networks, or have connections with distribution networks and work with them.

In most films, the first names you will see in the credits or title sequenc would be the main actors and actresses, so I revealed Emily and Helen's names first as they appear the most in the film. Other actors came in after because they appear for a shorter time. The directors and film crew came next because their jobs are also important, but the audience wouldn't be as interested in them as they are less publicised.

A small film like mine would likely get funding from other film companies or funding from the government. DreamScream Productions would start off as a small production company and get sponsors to help fund the distribution of our film. FilmFour is an example of a financer that would give money to films, like British film Shaun of the Dead. Our film is similar to Shaun of the Dead genre wise, so FilmFour could be the kind of financer we use.
